Sookie short stories

Monday, November 30, 2009

Well, it sure is funny how we all started together last year and how we all found each other and what a great year we've had. THE FUN of doing this has been making so many friends and meeting and staying in touch online, by phone and in person.

The anniversary of this blog was November 4th , the anniversary of my first blogtalk radio show was November 24th ( you can still listen to all the podcasts !) and the one year anniversary of True Blood Music Video of the Day is coming up next week !

The lovely @SookieBonTemps has posted a little on her blog about it being her 1 year anniversary tweeting as Sookie on Twitter -thanks for the shout Sook !

I would say thanks to everyone who has been a guest on the radio show and to our weekly Season 2 TB professional reviewers Brian Juergens/Andy Swist and Mark Blankenship and Meredith Woerner. Thanks to all my great friends from the HBO True Blood wiki and to everyone who reads the blog and comments ! "

Holy smokes! It’s my one year anniversary on Twitter!

But one year ago on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, I was sitting at home a little bored when I decided to create the @sookiebontemps account. Maybe it was True Blood / Sookiebook withdrawal. Who knows? Either way, something inside of me said, “What the hell? Why not tweet a few Sookie-isms and see if this sticks?”

A year later, I’m still here. And I’ve got a whole lot of people that I’d like to thank for making Twitter a boatload of fun:

Thank you to everyone who followed me in the beginning when Bon Temps on Twitter only had one resident.

Thanks to @TrueBloodDallas who knows how to spot a lost lamb when she sees one — it’s certainly been a wild ride from our first chat, to meeting in L.A. for Paley, going to Shreveport to meet Charlaine, to doing Talk Blood every Sunday night after Season 2 epis. Without you, I would not have met the awesome @robiart and the lovely Patrick.

Would you give a drop of blood to the Red Cross in exchange for a bite from Eric or a kiss from Sookie?

The True Blood players on Twitter hope you will. They are hosting Bites for Blood, the first ever virtual blood drive held on Twitter. Their goal is simple -- fill a blood vial with half-a-million drops of blood to raise awareness for the American Red Cross.

Bites for Blood kicks off on Thursday, December 3 at 9:00pm CDT with one night of virtual kissing and biting booths manned by everyone's favorite True Blood characters on Twitter. Participants simply:

Choose the human or vampire you'd like to have kiss or bite you.

Click on their badge.

By clicking, you will be directed back to Twitter where you'll tweet your support and receive a kiss or bite from the character you chose.

The page will remain open until Sunday, December 5th at 9pm CDT so that you can continue donating drops to Bites for Blood.

It's an easy and fun way to show support for the Red Cross. And if it inspires you to take the next step and make a real life blood donation or contribution to the Red Cross, then even better.
